And although some would take the piss on this fact, Pep & Pulis get on like a house on fire, Pep is more receptive to advice than most people & I doubt the advice he has been getting from most UK football people is 'it'll be fine, just carry on as you are'. They will all be telling him the same thing.

A physical, fast team playing Pep football, would be a new thing again & give the whole world, a whole world of trouble.

A physical fast team playing Pep football is pretty much what Arsenal were 15 years ago. It's perfect for the Prem. With Pep though, I think it would be perfect in both Prem and CL.
 
As purists we don't like it. I remember Mancini being asked how he'd deal with the Delap throw the week before we played Stoke, he said along the lines of, I'll expect my keeper to catch it. Given was our keeper at the time. As you say, he was surprised by England. I don't like it, but blood and thunder, up and under and physical size have long been a part of the PL.
Mancini knew it, Ferguson knew it, Mourinho knows it, in this league you need a few big aggressive players. The key is finding one that can be aggressive and powerful, but can play a bit.

Dele Alli. Wanyama. Moussa Dembele. Matic.
We need someone like that in midfield.
 
This is like FIFA so far!!! Full preseason for once...for the crucial signings.

Looks like pep doesn't rate sterling too highly though, given how well roberts has been playing all season. I'd actually be shocked if roberts was shipped off, i'd have him at stoke in a flash.

Would Fabinho not be that? Big strong lad, plenty of aggression and quality. Don't forget that YaYa tought Wanyama & Dembele a lesson at our place this season.

Agree.

I think we are better in possessionl than Arsenal were but they had Don Howe's defence to pass on the dark arts to any new signings.
